Can't get it up during sex when stressed
Whenever I have a lot of stress like say a couple of months of stress and depression or whatever when i have sex with my girlfriend during that time i can't have sex properly. I'll get hard but then in no time I'm limp again and i have to try extra hard or even put some porn on to get it up and complete the sex.

It usually stays hard enough for her to climax but the sex itself feels like a chore and there is no enjoyment there. It's like we're just having sex for the sake of it.

This only happens when i am depressed or stressed. When my life is going fine and positive i have no problems performing or any problems with sex at all.

My girlfriend hasn't even seem to bother about it and she usually always climaxes anyway but for me it's fucking annoying.

Is this normal? Does stress and depressive thoughts put you off sex?

And is there anything that can be done about it? (i have already tried the natural aphrodisiacs like goat weed they do nothing at all)

Yes, it's perfectly normal and to be expected.

Try some meditation or something to reduce your stress level
"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women

I've been there. Less stress (check out mindfulness), more exercise (or less, if you're an exercise fanatic like I was!) and no pressure to have sex. Cuddle, kiss and get comfortable and only have sex if you feel like it.

If you watch lots of porn, that can be a problem as well. It was for me at one stage. Watched a lot of increasingly kinky porn on a daily basis, and couldn't get aroused by a real woman and vanilla sex anymore.

Re: Can't get it up during sex when stressed
Yeah I could see how porn could be a problem. I try not to look at it too much these days. Just got back into the gym and exercise after a year or so out of it. I'll try the meditation too, haven't used it for a while either.

But even the sex itself feels dull and uninteresting during periods like that. I mean I still WANT the sex with her but once i get into it it just seems meh.

Only when I tell her to dress up or something or put a wig on it gets better but still while I'm under stress i have to keep stopping to get it back up again while normally i don't.
